After ten minutes of absorption, the final percentage needed for the core’s full saturation was reached. Alaric and Azarex approached Dhruv, inquiring about their next course of action.
"Master, should we comnce our evolution now, or would it be wise to wait for another wave to pass before deciding?" Alaric inquired, seeking Dhruv’s guidance on the matter.
Listening to the question, Dhruv pondered for a mont before responding, "Alaric, you should begin your evolution. We can’t afford to wait for another wave, especially considering that the monsters from the next wave will be of Tier 2. By evolving now, at least the three of us would be at tier 2 together."
Hearing the response, Alaric raised a question, "Why and not Azarex, my lord?"
"Because, if you were to consu the sa amount of ti as Vexar did, we would still have Azarex and his undead at our disposal. In addition, as you ntioned earlier, there’s a possibility you might gain the ability to transport living beings into the shadow with you, so after your evolution, Azarex could evolve in the calmness of the shadows " Dhruv explained to Alaric.
"How wise of you, my lord," Alaric replied with a tone of respect.
"Now, let’s not waste any more ti. Begin your evolution imdiately," Dhruv instructed, prompting Alaric to swiftly initiate the evolution process.
"Y-yes..." Alaric responded, acknowledging the directive.
With those instructions in mind, Alaric swiftly accessed the panel intended for the evolution process and promptly selected the "Yes" button.
As soon as Alaric pressed the "Yes" button, an egg-like cocoon enveloped him from the outside, much like the process Vexar had undergone. However, there was a noticeable distinction— the color of this egg was a mixture of half white and half black.

In the realm cloaked in eternal shadow, the very fabric of existence is ford from its inky embrace. The landscape itself, an expanse of fluctuating vagueness, is composed of this eternal twilight. Trees, with their twisting forms, stand as spectral monunts, their very essence woven from shadowstuff.
The sun even radiates a dark glow. In this mysterious realm, light and darkness blend, creating a space where shadows give birth to beauty, and the deep dance of shadows creates a realm that is both eerie and magnificent.
Within this realm, a figure ford entirely from shadow materialized. The being cast a curious gaze around its environnt before swiftly diverting its attention to its assigned task, in contrast to a certain soone who seed to have gotten distracted.
The being that had materialized within this realm was none other than Alaric. Assured of the absence of danger in his surroundings, he promptly accessed the evolution option and opened it.
[ You have reached the maximum core limit of your species.
These are the available species you can evolve into:
Adult Shadowspawn (common)
Shadow guardian (Uncommom)
Shadow assassin (Uncommon)
Umbral mage (Uncommon)
Umbral Sentinel (Rare)]
Without any ti wasted, he quickly opened the description of these species...
[Adult Shadowspawn: With this evolution, you would step into the adult form of your species. You are now an adult shadow with better control over its domain.
The skills , and are given along with a bonus of 10 in agility.]
"So, this is the next evolution of my species and the path I would have to choose if there weren’t any other options," Alaric contemplated. Unimpressed by the first option, he proceeded to open the description of the second option to evaluate it further.
[Shadow Guardian: A distinct path among the shadowspawn. This evolution would transform you into the guardian of a chosen being. You’ll safeguard your chosen one from within the shadows, remaining undetectable. The [Shadowguard Cortex] organ will be granted with this evolution.]
The skills , are given along with a bonus of 30 in agility and magic power.]
With a smile on his face, he quickly opened the description of the Umbrastone Core.
[Umbrastone Core: The Umbrastone Core, nestled within the Umbral Sentinel, harmonizes with their shadow-based abilities. It grants them controlled bursts of power, enhancing their tanking and magical prowess.]
’Truly a nice upgrade.’ Alaric mused as he clicked on the confirm nu of the evolution.
The mont he clicked on the confirm button, an unprecedented occurrence began to happen in the realm of the shadow. The shadow, which was still a mont ago, began to slither in the direction of Alaric. Looking at the phenonon, Alaric panics, but after thinking for a bit, he allows the shadows to ld with his body.
